Rubber Dance Art Stamps - Blog

Hello, Samantha here today and I'd like to share a little project I made for Hallowe'en. It's raining here today so the light was not great for taking photos but I think it makes it look even more spooky. I used two fun stamp sets, Little Witch and What A Girl Wants. I began by stamping out my chosen stamps and I then coloured them using watercolours. I used some MDF from my stash. I created the background using distress inks and sprays and also a stencil. I stamped some stars and created the moon using a Tim Holtz mask/stencil set. I added textured paste to the spider to give him texture. I finished by adding some inky splats, some pumpkin ornaments and some white highlights with a Posca pen. Here are the stamp sets I used; What a Girl Wants and Little Witch  I do hope you like it, for lots more fun and inspiration you can join the Rubber Dance Stamping Lounge on Facebook, right here . Thanks so much for looking, wishing you a lovely day, Sam :)

Hello, Samantha with you today and I'm sharing a postcard I made, I love making, sending and swapping postcards. Being approximately 4inches by 6 inches in size they're perfect for clean and simple designs or more layered and detailed. I created the background using distress inks, spritzed with water and just wiping the card in the diluted inks, I then added some interest using the Vintage Postcard stamp and a stamp from Pencil Marks 3 for the leaves. The flowers, bee and text, from Inky Friends and Flowers Gone Wild, were all stamped on white card, coloured using watercolours and Prismacolour pencils, cut out and adhered in place. To finish I added some inky splats and some iridescent liquid to the wings. Here are the stamps I used; Inky Friends Flowers Gone Wild Pencil Marks 3 Vintage Postcard I do hope you like my postcard, for lots more inspiration you can find us on Facebook - Rubber Dance Stamping Lounge right here .  Wishing you a lovely day, Sam :)  

Hello, Samantha here today and I would like to share with you a page for my art journal. I wanted something a little different to my usual clean and bright colours but also I wanted some texture and contrast. So got busy with some distress inks and a spray to begin with..... I used the technique where you lay the distress ink down, spritz it with water and then mop up with the paper. For another colour and layer I used a spray. I then added more texture using gelatos and a stamp. I stamped the gorgeous butterfly girl stamp and the leaves on white card and coloured using watercolour paints. I also stamped some feathers on white card and coloured and stamped some directly on to the page. I finished off my page by adding some arty splats and some stars, there is also some subtle glitter on her wings which the camera didn't pick up.  Here are the wonderful stamps I used: Butterfly Girl #2 Textured Feathers Pencil Marks #3  I do hope you like my page, thanks so much for looking.

Hello, Samantha here today and I'm delighted to be sharing my postcard with you. I just love postcards, they're a great size, 4 inches by 6 inches, to make something simple or complicated and if sealed correctly they can be sent through the post naked, (not in an envelope). I used to organise postcard swaps a few years ago, it was great fun sending and receiving. When my mojo goes walk about and I just can't seem to focus, I nearly always reach for one of my blank postcards and just start something not knowing where it might go. For this postcard I just wanted to see what the back ground tree stencil would look like if done in yello, rather then blue or black for day and night skies. Then of course trees need a bird or two so I reached for the Textured Birds stamp set and thought this bird looked cute looking at the stars through the branches. I couldn't resist adding the leaves from Pencil Marks #3 and Weed Love in brown ink to add some more depth. The stars and text a...

Hello Stampers, Samantha here today and I'd love to share with you this very easy slimline sized Christmas Card, using two sets of Rubber Dance stamps, Watercolour Xmas and Pines Fir Yew, they work so well together. Here is a close up of one of the baubles, I made it by using distress ink and whilst the ink was still wet I used just water to blend the ink out to the middle, leaving a white bit as a reflection. I added some little leaves and a tiny bow to finish. Here are the stamp sets I used: Pines Fir Yew And Watercolour Xmas  I do hope you like my card, thanks for looking! Wishing you a lovely day, Sam :) For more inspiration to can find our Facebook group right here ! 

Hello, Samantha here today and I'm so happy to be sharing with a page I created for my art journal. It doesn't have the journaling on yet which is why I have not used any text as I think I may get confused when writing over the top. Colours are like therapy to me and this was wonderful fun to create, the hard part was knowing when to stop adding details. My page is 8inches by 8inches, I used distress inks for the background and watercolours for the beautiful butterflies. White embossing and lustre spray give some lovely contrasts and details The stamps I used are: Inky Friends Bold and Beautiful Pencil Marks #2 and Pencil Marks #1  For lots more beautiful inspiration please join us on Facebook here in the Rubber Dance Stamping Lounge. Thanks so much for looking, wishing you a lovely day, Sam :) x
